I doubt if it means anything, since the OED | also says that the '-ize' form of verbs is to be preferred to '-ise' | (when the root is of Greek origin). And nobody seems to bother about | that. Well, almost everyone around here uses the -ize form. The net could use a "sweeping statement" indicator or perhaps a "grain of salt" insertion mechanism. -- Kim Letkeman kim@software.mitel.com uunet!mitel!spock!kim
